Searching for a swish wedding venue in Singapore – right in the heart of the city – that’s certain to have guests beaming with delight the moment they stroll in? Whether you picture your big day as a grand gala or an intimate celebration, the Conrad Centennial Singapore’s new wedding packages for 2016 will give the happiest day of your life the alluring air of romance it deserves.

The beautiful poolside by night

Set in the slick, urban surrounds of Marina Bay, this luxurious hotel has a wide array of venues to tie the knot in that’s suitable for celebrations of all sizes. Planning to go larger-than-life? Hold your soiree in the ritzy pillarless ballroom, which can seat up to 408 guests comfortably. The spacious foyer area outside also makes for an impressive spot for mingling over cocktails before dinner starts, while the elegant grand staircase is ideal for making a dramatic, memorable entrance as Mr and Mrs. If you prefer a more intimate gathering of close-knit loved ones, opt for its smaller venues: the high-ceiling Grand Salon (suitable for up to 72 guests) or five other individually-decorated salons that can host up to 36 guests. Clamouring for a charming outdoor ceremony? Exchange your vows by the poolside against views of the majestic city skyline.

To make sure the lovebirds themselves are treated like royalty, the packages also include a lush one-night stay in one of their swanky suites, two VIP parking lots at the hotel’s main entrance, and the choice to enjoy breakfast in bed or at Oscar’s, the hotel’s elegant buffet restaurant. You’ll even get a bottle of champagne and a spread of gourmet chocolates sent to your suite, so you can both unwind after the thrilling day (finally, some alone time!) with a touch of decadence.

The 'Happiness' theme's vibrant decor

To make sure your wedding dazzles both in the flesh and in photos, the hotel’s wedding team has designed two exclusive themes, both elegant and oozing splendor.
